Improving Quality of Life at Work for People Living with AD/HD

Many adults living with attention deficit disorder, with or without hyperactivity (AD/HD) struggle in the workplace with daily tasks like time management and focusing at work. Unfortunately, they often face stigma and do not get the support they need. Our goal is to adapt an intervention program to help them with their mental health challenges that can be directly applied to a professional setting. We will evaluate the impact of this intervention through an 8-week program involving psychosocial workers, individuals with AD/HD, and workplace stakeholders. The assessment will encompass various aspects, including job-person fit, diagnosis disclosure, cognitive biases, communication, and emotion regulation. By teaming up with PANDA, we want to make sure these changes benefit people with AD/HD all over Quebec, by sharing our findings with employment services. This research is about making workplaces more inclusive for everyone and supporting workers.
